“We are proud of to be recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts,” said Craig Meier, CEO of Medical Solutions. “We know that our employees are our best brand advocates, and are our primary key to success in this industry. We are committed to ensuring all of our employees are engaged and empowered.”

Medical Solutions was named a winner in the category for staffing firms with 201-500 employees, scoring in the top quartile in the category. This marks the fifth time Medical Solutions has been named a best staffing company by SIA.

“Congratulations to the winners of this year’s Best Staffing Firms to Work For Awards,” said Barry Asin, President of SIA. “These high-performing companies stand out for their quality of leadership and as organizations that prioritize culture and employee engagement. There is a strong correlation between employee engagement and growth. These firms have made that connection and use it to excel in their business and drive outstanding results.”

The Best Staffing Firms to Work For awards are sponsored by Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW). Approximately 400 firms sought participation in the program this year, conducted by SIA in conjunction with Quantum Workplace. Internal employees at each firm complete a 40-question online survey measuring 10 key engagement categories focusing on items including teamwork, trust in senior leaders, feeling valued, manager effectiveness, compensation, and benefits. There is no charge for participation and companies completing the survey receive a report highlighting their firm’s results.

“I’m honored to be recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts,” said Meier. “It’s humbling as this recognition reflects the talented team we have in place at Medical Solutions. Our employees truly enjoy serving this industry and are dedicated to providing exceptional service to our travelers and clients every day.”

In 2018, Meier led company efforts alongside partner TPG Growth to acquire PPR and 360 Healthcare Staffing, a provider of travel nurse staffing and interim leadership for acute and post-acute markets.

“We congratulate Craig on this well-deserved recognition of his ongoing leadership and growing industry influence,” said Medical Solutions President Joel Tremblay. “He serves as an inspiration to all of us at Medical Solutions. His long-term vision and people-first approach continue to drive our teams and lead us to new heights in serving our travelers and healthcare providers.”

“The 2019 Staffing 100 North America stand out as leaders, executives and visionaries and for their significant commitment to empowering people. From job-seekers and internal talent to partners and stakeholders across the ecosystem, the Staffing 100 honorees understand that people helping people is both a competitive advantage and a way to advance the world of work for all,” said Subadhra Sriram, editor and publisher, media products, Staffing Industry Analysts.
